Entourage doesn't seem to encode attachments

I am trying to share a html calender made with entourage with my pc using friends. They're unable to open the file. I thought I managed with entourage's helpfile but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
I encoded the html file like this:
1 I attached the file to the message
2 I clicked the flippy triangle in the attachment pane
3 There it was possible to encode the attach to a supposedly windows format
4 I also encoded it in the UNIX format hoping that a friend using LINUX could open it but unfortunately this didn't succeed either
5 I sent the mail
And as I mentioned earlier on: my friends weren't able to open the entourage html calender file.
Please any suggestions are welcome!

P.S: perhaps it's much easier using iCal? MS and I will probably never become friends;-)

Thanks again, but I managed to do what I wanted to do with iCal and .Mac within 15 minutes.
It took me an afternoon to try to do the same with Entourage.

GoLive CS2 doesn't seem to encode special characters - help!

If you've recently upgraded to CS2 and are having trouble with HTML entities for special characters, see this FAQ topic:
FAQ 11.11 - Special Character Encoding Problems (CS2)
Looks like this is going to be a recurring topic for a while as people migrate to CS2, so I'm making this a "sticky" topic at the top of the forum (thanks Martin).

Thank you all for your posts on this issue. I need to point out a few things.
1. As a novice, I had assumed that "special characters" included all non-standard characters (those not included in the Basic Latin character set and the Latin-1 Supplement set), and that therefore, all the "other" Unicode characters were special characters. As a result, I had assumed that the original post about Special Characters did indeed have a connection to Unicode input methods. (In fact, I am utterly in the dark as to why it is that it does not. But being a novice I believe you when you say that "special characters" and Unicode characters are two unrelated things, although I have no idea what the difference is. But, for letting me know that there is a difference, for that I truly thank you.
2. I have read and re-read my comments from earlier and fail to see any "flaming" in it of Nate. Yet the rest of you see it clearly, so it must be there. It must be very disappointing for you to try so hard to help others only to be confronted with someone of ill-manners blasting you for your best efforts. I am truly sorry that I have in my ignorance and in my own frustration caused you to feel this way. Furthermore, since his statements had nothing to do with the issue that is so vexing to me (as you have now shown me), it was completely inappropriate for me to be upset with his answers.
3. I remain very frustrated with not being able to find an answer to this problem of Unicode entry. I share Dee Bolland's aggravation when he talked about "... patronising people saying 'Didn't you know that?' blah blah." and when he said, " Please don't say 'It works for me!' :< ." When I first read Nate's statement of what to do about special characters, my spirits were excited with hope that it would solve my Unicode issues (because I thought he was talking about that). I was hopeful that I had missed something simple. When I tried it and it didn't work for my problem, I was very disappointed. This is the same frustration that I had when I read Rob Keniger's statement to me that the program can accept input in Source view. I jumped at this with hopeful anticipation, only to be totally and utterly disappointed once again--because it doesn't work for me. I pasted the Unicode text that I had posted above ( ×Ö²×©×Ö¶×¨ ×Ö¹× ×Ö¸×Ö·×Ö° ×Ö¼Ö·×¢Ö²×¦Ö·×ª ×¨Ö°×©×Ö¸×¢Ö´×× ) into source view, and all I got was the following: "
Â Â " (I've included the tags so you can see the space). In other words, once again my high hopes are dashed and I am left feeling stupid (you say it works for you) and angry such a great program that does so many fantastic things can't do the basic things I want it to do. So, yes, I remain infuriated by the situation, by my inability to get the program to do what (I thought) you all had said it can so easily do. And yet (as I stated earlier in my post to Nate at which he took offense): "I do hope I am missing something simple and that the error is totally mine. However, I have yet to see any directions or examples that will solve the problem. Please, if you know of how to make this work, let me know. I will gladly confess my error in doubting you, if you can show me I am wrong by doing it right."
So, since my post was not germane to the discussion, I will now bow out of this one. Thank you so much for your efforts to help, though.

Mail doesn't send mails with attachments 1Mb

Hi,
I'm using Mail with a ManagedExchange account. Before Snow Leopard I was using Entourage 2008.
Everything seems to work fine. Except sending of larger files fails.
Every time I send a mail which is approx. <1Mb Mail starts transmitting data (see it via Little Snitch 2.2b) and stops after a while doing nothing anymore. The mail stays in the outbox, and the moving circle which indicates that a folder is being synchronized appears endless. No other mails are going out then. After a while I get a message that my email couldn't be sent via my mail server. And the connection failed. And I can choose another mail server if I would have any. Entourage doesn't have that problems. So the connection seems to be fine. Small attachments are no problem.
What's the problem?
Regards,
OberMufti

I'm getting a similar problem. Snow Leopard Mail for me seems to be choking on large attachments - sending them, forwarding them, or even moving them from one IMAP folder to another.
My mails are getting through, but it takes a long time and they are dragging the whole system to a crawl in the process.

Relaying Outgoing Mail Doesn't seem to work

Hi,
I am a subscriber to Comcast ): and because many mail servers reject my mail from a non-static IP address, I use the option under Server Admin - Mail called "Relay outgoing mail through host: smtp.comcast.net
However this doesn't seem to help. In fact looking at the header of a message I sent from my server to a gmail account, it shows the IPs as my personal ones:

How can I get this working so all server like AOL accept my mail?

#relayhost = $mydomain
#relayhost = [gateway.my.domain]
relayhost = smtp.comcast.net
#relayhost = uucphost
#relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress]
# REJECTING UNKNOWN RELAY USERS
then i did this:
empco:~ james$ grep /etc/postfix/main.cf relayhost
grep: relayhost: No such file or directory
Couple of things...
1. Sorry, I got the grep command wrong way round! It should be...
grep relayhost /etc/postfix/main.cf
All it does is show the lines in the file which contains "relayhost" - easier than listing the whole file.
2. The GUI normally adds the options at the end of the file - so if grep lists another 'blank' relayhost, remark out your old one and edit the entry at the end. (just in case an existing blank entry at the end is overwriting your edited one).
3. You can actually edit main.cf whilst the mail services are running. Just execute the reload command in Terminal afterwards...
sudo postfix reload
The sudo prefix runs the command as root, so it will ask for the root (admin) password.
Any changes made like this should automatically show up in the Server Admin GUI. Click the 'refresh' button.
I've confirmed the above works on my test system, so here's hoping!

X-Fi DD-DTS doesn't seem to work right playing DVD Movies with VLC Player or anything els

I have an X-Fi Platinum with the bay and When I try to Play a DVD with VLC Player And choose a/52 over s/pdif it sounds HORRID skipping and pausing and not functioning at all.. I must choose 5. channel to have Listenable Audio. The Same goes for AC3 Encoded Files If I chose A/52 over S/PDIF in VLC player it sounds like **bleep** and doesn't seem to decode it right. I must chose stereo 2 channel to listen to AC3 encoded video's.. NOTE The dolby Digital symbol DOES appear when i chose A/52 over S/PDIF so it does know it's a digital signal.. And I have the software set to USE hardware decoder and S/PDIF in Decode selected. NOW Here's something that REALLY makes me wonder wtf is wrong, I can connect my Home DVD Player or Cable Box over the Optical?in OR the S/PDIF in and the SOB works Fine, The Dolby Digital symbol comes up and everything sounds great! I get Dolby Digital surround no problem..Why in the heck does it not want to play DVD's using the A/52 over S/PDIF or any AC3 Encoded Files?What's the deal?And I am using windows XP Pro SP2 yadda yadda yadda?Message Edited by mbrown0420 on 07-25-20070:58 PM

I have a MacBook Pro OS X v.10.9.1 that doesn't seem to have a DVD player installed. Any thoughts on what app would be best?

I have a MacBook Pro that doesn't seem to have a DVD player installed. Any ideas on what would be best for viewing?

Hi
I would try this - from Apple
To burn DVDs - You know that they come in two versions ?
Data-DVDs - to store files (even movie files) onto - Can not be played on any Video-DVD-player.
Video-DVDs - as commersial movie DVDs
Data-DVDs - can be burned directly from DeskTop/Finder (but only one time/DVD - no incremental storage)
Video-DVDs - needs a DVD-authoring program.
• iDVD - is the best possibly for most of us (not avail. from Apple any more)
• DVD Studio Pro - best ever made ? (not avail. from Apple any more)
• Roxio Toast™ - I like (I got, I use - rather often)
• Compressor - $50 from Apple
• Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store (very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)
• Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
My old note on this - same same:
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
Free solutions:
Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
(very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

Hibernate hbm2ddl.auto create-drop doesn't seem to work in 10.3 JPA

Greetings,
I'm migrating an JPA application from JBoss 5.0 to WebLogic 10.3. In order to simplify the problem, I have the following entity:
package fr.simplex_software.p204.domain;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.*;
@Entity
@Table(name="AUTHOR")
public class Author implements Serializable
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
@Column(name="AUTHOR_ID", nullable=false)
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
public Long getId()
return id;
public void setId(Long id)
this.id = id;
I also have the following persistence.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">

<properties>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
When I deploy the application in JBoss 5.0, the table AUTHOR is created. When I deploy the same in WebLogic 10.3, the table isn't created and nothing happens. Should I do anything of special ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards,
Nicolas

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Yes, I did. Actually I'm testing the JDBC data-source in WebLogic console and the test is successfull. Also, exactly the same app correctly deploys in JBoss. In the WebLogic console I can see my EAR deployed, I'm running some standalone clients against some SLSB in the EAR and they work properly and I'm sure that if I'm manually creating the data-model, the JPA entities will work. The only thing which doesn't seem to work is the automatically data-model creation. I thought that Hibernate may not be so intimatelly integrated with WebLogic as with JBoss and I tried to use Kodo, but I didn't find any auto create-drop equivalent feature. I continue digging but stiil interested by any suggestion, if any.
Many thanks in advance,
Nicolas

Mini dvi to s-video/composite adapter doesn't seem to work?

basically i'm trying to hook my rather new 2.53 ghz mac mini to my tv, which basically has rca inputs. so, having seen several laptops hooked to this tv as simply as using an s-video to composite adapter, i figured it would be as simple as getting the mini dvi to composite adapter and i'd be good. well, for some reason this doesn't seem to do anything. the other weird thing is that when i hook the cable from the composite adapter to the tv, i get a buzz out of the speakers as the connection is being made. why is a video signal having anything to do with the audio? plugging my playstation 2 into the same input works fine. why the difference?

That's the setup I've used. Works great for video and photos, but webpage text can be difficult to read.
I used the yellow composite input rather than the s-video. My old tv is inside an “entertainment center” type tv stand and is so friggin heavy, it’s a pain in the axx to move, so I just used the composite plug on the front of my tv. Since the Mac mini is sitting in front of the tv it works great:-)

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Wacom Tablet doesn't seem to work all of the time?

I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, not more than a year old. I recently installed it onto my Macbook Pro and it worked fine, but when I unplugged it and came back to work with it later, it doesn't seem to work. The mouse doesn't respond to where I click on the pad.
So, I've reinstalled this a couple of times and was able to make it work perfectly, but today when I went back to work in photoshop, it doesn't seem to be responding again.
Does anyone have any tips? I know that Leopard likes you to eject USB devices instead of just pulling them out of the slot, but I don't see anywhere to eject it.
Does anyone know what's up?

Downloaded a driver from website, tablet works now.

Apple doesn't offer a MDP to AV or componet connect . Only DVI and VGA. They also don't offer one to HDMI. You have to go aftermarket to get one to HDMI.
Quite right, but as the OP does not have component or composite connections not important.
To the OP, this does work, but is not the cheapest, and as it appears that Apple no longer sell an SVideo adaptor cable 3rd party it will have to be.

1.burned a hole in my screen can I get this repaired? 2. Even though I have it set to open up to a blank screen, no web pages, my computer (safari) continuously opens with multiple safari sites open. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, it just reverts

1. I burned a small hole in my screen, is that fixable/replaceable? 2. Even though I have my 15" MacBook Pro set to open to empty screen when I open Safari, it constantly opens multiple previous pages. It doesn't seem to matter what I do it just reverts back to opening multiple pages. Major security risk, my bank pages have popped back up after my computer has been shut down, account numbers and all. I took my computer to an Apple store and the genious there tols me... "honey, you can't hold your laptop on your lap, that's the problem, it's getting too hot" he honestly said that. Could someone please help me? Thanks

Apple doesn't call its portable machines 'notebooks' instead of 'laptops' for nothing - using a MacBook Pro in your lap can cause some burns on your skin, poor ventilation, etc. So use it on a hard flat surface - not your lap, pillows, bedclothes, etc.
As for burning a hole in your screen, you'll have to revisit the Apple Store and see how much they would charge for a new screen. It's likely to be a bit expensive.
And if you've Safari set to re-open tabs when you restart, you can disable this feature -> Safari-Preferences-General.
Good luck,
Clinton

How does Azure Compute Emulator (or the Azure one) determine if a role is web project or something else ("The Web Role in question doesn't seem to be a web application type project")?

I'm not sure if this is F# specific or something else, but what could cause the following error message when trying to debug locally an Azure cloud service:
The Web Role in question doesn't seem to be a web application type project.
I added an empty F# web api Project to a solution (which adds Global.asax etc., I added an OWIN startup class Startup etc.) and then from an existing
cloud service project I picked Roles and
chose Add
-> Web Role Project in solution, which finds the F# web project (its project type guids are 349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21 and F2A71F9B-5D33-465A-A702-920D77279786),
of which the first one seem to be exactly the GUID that defines a web application type.
However, when I try to start the cloud project locally, I get the aforementioned error message. I have a C# Web Role project that will start when I remove the F# project. I also have F# worker
role projects that start with the C# web role project if I remove this F# web role project. If I set the F# web project as a startup project,
it starts and runs as one would expect, normally.
Now, it makes me wonder if this is something with F# or could this error message appears in C# too, but I didn't find anything on Google. What kind of checks are there when starting the emulator and which one needs
failing to prompt the aforementioned message? Can anyone shed light into this?
Sudet ulvovat -- karavaani kulkee

Sudet,
Yeah you are right, the GUID mentioned seems to be correct and the first one i.e. {349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21} means the web application project which compute emulator uses to determine while spawning up role instances.
You might want to compare the csproj of your C# and F# web projects which might give some pointers.
Are you able to run your F# web project locally in IIS? If yes then you will definitely be able to run it on azure so I will recommend to test it in IIS Express first.
Here are some other tips which you can refer or see If you are yet to do those settings
1. Turn on the IIS Express - You can do it by navigating to project properties
2. Install Dependent ASP.NET NuGets / Web Api dependencies (If there are any missing), Reference System.Web assembly
Also I will suggest to refer this nice article about how to create a F# web Api project
http://blog.ploeh.dk/2013/08/23/how-to-create-a-pure-f-aspnet-web-api-project/
Hope this helps you.

My apple tv is registering on my tv - i can see it on my system info screen but the apple tv doesn't show up, as well my imac doesn't seem to let me share - so i don't know whats wrong, why my apple tv isn't working

anybody able to help me with my setup for apple tv. i've followed the directions in the guide and my tv doesn't seem to register in part. it's weird because my tv system info identifies the apple tv but the screen never went black and it doesn't show anything, too, my imac doesn't seem to register the apple tv unit either

I would try connecting it to another tv to see if it works there if it does
then likely your tv can't handle the default resolution and you should lower it on the other tv
if not then you should connect it by usb to the computer and use itunes to restore it's firmware

Safari on my iPhone 6 running 8.02 doesn't seem to work right. Some Java scripts don't show correctly and they do on other browsers I have downloaded. I tried almost everything and nothing seems to work to fix it. Please help.

Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!
Thanks

You can reset the SMC and see if that helps. If it's a unibody or Retina, follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."
